Pearl Fishers of tho Red Sea

Some 500 boats of from eight to twenty
tons burden, and with crews of, in the
aggregate, about $500 men, mostly negro
slaves, are engaged in the pearl fisheries
of the Red sea, which yield from S100 600
to Sl50.000 year. One-third OF the in
cone the owners of the vessel retain :;
the remaining two-thirds sre distributed
among the crews, which makes an aver
sge Of $50 to $40 year to every mou.
In former days Dieddsh, near Meccs,
in Arabia, was the port where
all the pesrls were taken aud sold.
But since the government imposed
an import duty Of 8 per cent. upon the
pearls the fishers commenced carrying
their shells to Massowsh and Suakin, on
the African coast, where they had only
per cent. OF duty to pay. At present the
latter ports receive shout three quarters
OF the entire yield, hardly one-qusrter Of
il still going to Djeddah. From these
ports the pearls are transported to Csiro
and Alexandria, in lower Egypt, whence
most of them so to Trieste, upon tbs
Adriatic ses, few only reaching Londor
and Havre directly from Egypt.

The Newspaper Legal Necessity.
Special to the Gazette.
Houston, Ten, Oct. S.-R. G. Lowe,
manager OF the Galveston News, who was
arrested last Saturday for violating the
Sunday law in compelling employees to
work on Sunday, had 6 final hearing to-
day before Judge Cook of the Criminal
District court On q writ OF hsbeas
corpus. In rendering his decision, Judge
Cook said thst the work of
necessity and charity and household Gu
ties could only be determined by a jury,
and Il would be the outy OF the court IL
his judgment TO submit the question c!
botn fact and law TO the jury, the court
not being able TO know and declare
| iudicially what We're works of charity
and necessity. The number apG chsrac-
ter OF exceptions were intended, doubt
| less, to give sn idea OF the scope ana
purpose Of the lsW as well as to except
the particular business or occupations.
All of the exceptions named in
the law are matters of necessity
| by the terms Of the lsW, whether so or
not. When people do not want to under
stand the law it is easy 10 mYstify it to
their own satisfaction. Wien they desire
to obey the law it is easy for them to
do SO. a great deal depends upon
the will in both the matter of under.
standing and obeying. 1t is silly asser.
tion that the keepers of houses are per
sonally exempted from the operation O!
the law over all purposes. 1t seems to
me that such construction makes such
nonsense as would deter man who
knew the difference between sense and
nonsense from making it.
The Legislature has declared
the newspaper = public necessity by ex
empting it by such measures and whether
it be so or not in fact it is so in law
Such being my views of the law, it is
my judgment that the relator is Illegally
restrained of his liberty and should bt
discharged and it is accordingly so or.
